CASTLE STREET, NP13 1DW House Prices & Local Information

NP13 1DW is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood on Castle Street, 0.2km from Pant-y-Pwdyn in Abertillery. Administratively it sits within Abertillery and Six Bells ward and the Blaenau Gwent constituency.

For families considering a move, NP13 1DW represents a transitional terrace area — improving but still facing economic pressures. By day, the area transitions to a non-metropolitan suburban areas character: white, female workforce with low qualifications, working locally. An average age of 40 puts this squarely in mixed-family territory — professional couples, school-age children households, and established residents all sharing the streets. 55% of properties are owner-occupied — a strong indicator of neighbourhood stability and long-term community investment.

Safety: Crime rates are low here at 30 incidents per 1,000 residents — well below average and reassuring for families. Property: With prices averaging £74k, this is one of the more affordable postcodes in the area, down 45.5% year-on-year. The Index of Multiple Deprivation places this area in the most deprived 20% nationally — this often means more affordable prices and active local authority investment, but also fewer amenities and higher benefit dependency.
